Tasting Notes
From the Capalot cru in La Morra, this Barolo captures the elegance and lift typical of the commune’s softer marl soils. The nose opens with red cherry, rose petal and wild strawberry, layered with sweet spice, anise and subtle earthy tones. On the palate, it is supple and finely structured, with pure red fruit carried by lively acidity and framed by silky, talc-like tannins. A savoury mineral undercurrent adds definition, leading to a long, graceful finish. Harmonious and refined, this is a beautifully poised expression of La Morra’s gentle power and perfume. - Chris L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
